Actor Kevin Costner’s Ex-Wife Christine Baumgartner Engaged to His Former Friend Just One Year After Their Divorce

Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner’s ex-wife, got engaged to his old friend and neighbour following a tense divorce. 

According to reports, Christine Baumgartner is engaged to Josh Connor, who works as a financier. 

After a contentious legal battle, Kevin Costner and Baumgartner reached a divorce settlement more than a year ago. 

Since then, Kevin Costner has opened up about his divorce from his ex-wife, saying that it left him feeling hurt and devastated. 

According to reports, the actor had strong suspicions that something was going on between Christine and Josh before their romance became public. 

According to a report by People Magazine, Christine Baumgartner said “yes” to Connor’s beachside proposal in Santa Barbara, California, on January 26, 2025, less than a year after she and Costner finalized their divorce.

Rumours of a romance began when Baumgartner and Connor were spotted together in Hawaii in July 2023, during her divorce from Costner. It was established that they were dating by January 2024. 

Connor has an intriguing relationship with Baumgartner and Costner, as he was their neighbour during their marriage and was drawn into their acrimonious divorce dispute. 

Following 18 years of marriage, Baumgartner and Costner filed for divorce in May 2023, citing April 11, 2023, as the date of their separation.
